Chapter 364 - It was love at first sight

He doesn't seem to care but he does care a lot, he cared when she got drunk and was left alone at Rendezvous. He cared when she was caught by Jacob drunk with him in front of her apartment. He was worried that Jacob will be angry with her and will punish her. He cared when he saw her drinking at the hotel at Mt. Celandine. He can't even be unease so he went back to check her only to find out that she is missing. He was so scared when he can't find her and when he did, he felt his heart was pricked with a thousand hot needle when he saw her crying. He was never scared like that before, he never felt like that before.

He doesn't seem to care when she started avoiding him but he does care. He doesn't show it but he became frustrated and ill-tempered, that's why he visits the filming set much lesser. Because he doesn't want to be disappointed when Lily avoided him again. He cannot take it.

And when he found out that she is already dating someone, he felt his world turn upside down. He never went to Rendezvous for a week. He only focuses on business but her mind is preoccupied with Lily. Lily is dating and the next step to that, if everything goes well and perfect, she'll get married. He will lose her. He will lose her without even trying.

J looked at Lance, for some reason, she wanted to avenge her sister-in-law for taking her for granted. Who cares if Lance is her best friend? She is on the girl's side. And at the same time, she wanted to help Lance have a clearer identification of what he truly feels towards Lily before it's too late.

"Actually, Lily told me that she liked you…" J said it in the past tense. She paused then continue. "…before." It was like giving Lance a glimmer of hope then take it back even before he could grasp it. "It was love at first sight," J said as she looked at Lance's complex emotions. She was quite enjoying torturing him.

"When she found out that you are my best friend, she kept asking me about you. Your likes and dislikes, your past girlfriends, hobby and everything. But just a couple of weeks ago, she just stops asking. I didn't ask her what happened but it was obvious that she doesn't want to talk about it."

"Until Jacob told me that Lily will be going on a blind date arranged by my mother-in-law. I thought that she was just being obedient to her mother. But that blind date was followed by another date and a couple of more. So, I guessed that she was over you."

This made Lance felt worse.

J noticed that Lance is not looking good so she invited him to have a seat in a lounge chair by the poolside. Lance remained quiet while J waited for him. He seemed to be in deep thought that he wasn't in himself when J dragged him to sit.

J closed her eyes to take a rest. Fifteen minutes passed by when she heard him speak in his most earnest tone. "I'll take her back."

J was not surprised. Instead, she said with her eyes still closed, "She's not yours, to begin with." But Lance didn't mind her. "I'll pursue her. I'll do whatever it takes to win back her affection." Lance declared.

"Tell me. Who is she dating?"
